Sarah Walker with a fresh musical mix for New Year’s Day

Sarah Walker chooses attractive and uplifting music to complement your New Year’s Day morning, whether you’re busy making resolutions or relaxing on the sofa.

Sarah Walker chooses 75 minutes of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Sarah opens a box of musical delights for New Year’s morning, ranging from a crisp baroque trio by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and a mesmerising take on a traditional winter song played by harpist Ruth Wall, to energetic escapades expertly orchestrated by Richard Strauss and Noel Coward in after-party mood.

And to prepare for Radio 3’s yearly visit to Vienna, she plays music by Mozart, written in that very city.
